Maybe Mastodon already handles many of the following concerns. However I can imagine any organization would go through a series of questions before they start running their own server:

1. How much does it cost?

2. Who does it benefit?

3. Who takes the ownership of the deployment?

4. If something needs to be fixed with the deployment, who does that?

5. Why should I prefer this over say slack/teams, where I get support bundled in my contract?

6. What happens if someone puts up something nasty on the internal mastodon network? The legal department hates this one weird trick.

7. Does it create a headache for the HR department if people start violating their corporate code of conduct on the mastodon network?

Maybe I am pessimistic, but OP is probably being quite dreamy here.
